Research points to surprising facts about boredom you can use to burst its bubble… regardless of your situation. Have you seen it happen?
When boredom pops up through lectures, brain dead meetings, workplace routines, negative effects of venting, or feelings of helplessness … one need no
t get trapped by its snares. How so?
Boredom … it turns out is more of a personal choice … and less related to external forces … than once thought.
While it’s true that an increasing number of workers hate their jobs … can you imagine Einstein bored, for instance?
If your response is … “Yes but …” you have likely chosen to embrace boredom. Your brain is wired to stay stuck in its rut. Highly successful business leader Michael Neuvirth suggests you ask … What could I invent?
What question could add natural chemicals in your brain and move you back in the direction of passion and purpose and prosperity at work today?
What a great idea! From now on, when I get stuck in a dull, boring meeting, I'm going to set to work solving the world's problems!
But what if I'm called upon to take notes, and NOTHING WHATSOEVER makes it to the page! (That actually happened to me a couple of weeks ago at an all-day seminar at a conference! Luckily they sent me the slides!)
By the way, I notice your sign is, um, headless! (Ironic, huh?)
